@Conway Twitter So you think that it was ok that the world should be as you say SIMPLY, that he is a total tightwads, take minimum wage or MOVE ON, as you say. It was perfectly ok that Karen finally got a raise & was sexually harrassed, that he DESERVEDLY MADE IT WORK, as you say, by the show going downhill. Its not common practice to be tightwads. Hated Andy Griffith done the same thing, & he made it work by Don Knotts quitting. The people on the show was afraid to ask for a raise, because he treated Karen like garbage. If it is common for people to be treated this badly, it is strange that it is rarely heard of. One reason Pernell Roberts quit was he couldnt stand Landon. Highway to Heaven, Landon walked around like he was totally bored, it showed through his acting

I am glad she told some version of the truth. Multiple people have confirmed the affair on set. So, his behavior probably was not good. But she also pointed out her failures too.

No matter what his personal flaws were, I admire him for producing good family shows. I love and still watch Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven.

So if it's in her book, it's okay but, if she states what she wrote about, it's not okay, folks? It's her reality about her job, she's allowed to tell all as she's lived it.

To the person who made the original comment. How do you know its true? Were you there? Do you know either Michael Landon or Karen Grassle personally or are you just taking someone's story at face value because of her sex? Karen Grassle was an alcoholic during the filming of the show. She and others admit that. She would come to work drunk and was moody and would swear in front of the children. She wasn't a "Saint" either. Michael Landon wasnt Charles Ingalls,he was a real human being and imperfect as are the rest of us. That being said he wasn't a villian. So what if he told an off color joke in the company of adults? As to him paying her less than himself,she was NOT the star of the show. I don't respect her for coming up with this dirt 50 some years later to sell books. Truth is that without Michael Landon casting her in his show nobody today would even know who she is.

Some people are saying that she should have brought it up to him at the time instead of waiting until years later. But she obviously didn't feel that she could. The fact that he was totally comfortable with this sort of behavior just underlines how accepted it was back then, with men - especially those with the ability to wield power over others' careers - being able to get away with workplace harassment that (I hope) wouldn't be tolerated today. Now that she can safely talk about it, she shouldn't have to remain silent just to uphold the stupid "don't speak ill of the dead" rule, or in gratitude that he hired her for the role, or to perpetuate his image as a saint. That sends a wrong message.

Is no one going to point out the bigger problem? Landon had an affair with a subordinate. That would be sexual harassment today, and set a bad example to both his male a female co-workers.

People on set had other opinion lol specially cameramen she lies for attention 😂

Love Michael Landon. He's my hero. Karen who???

As much as I love Michael Landon, his work and his family values; we can't forget that he was a man in power during a time that the T.V and Hollywood industry silenced women. This was the Suzanne Somer's era, where women were blacked balled for even daring to be paid equal to their male counterparts, while having to also sit around and listen to derogatory remarks, sexist talk. Now, I'm not saying that Michael Landon was like Harvey Weinstein, not at all. But one can't help and thing that the culture Landon participated in, encouraged the newer generation of "Hollywood Men in Power," take their abuse a step further, which was assault. This culture led to the creation men like Weinstein, Cosby, Spacey and most recent Masterson. For a man who promoted advocacy through his craft, Landon didn't necessarily promote it in life, on the set. Grassle couldn't even ask for an increase in pay without being belittled, reduced to a category that all of Hollywood took for granted. It made women compete with each other, as their pay was later established based on the number of lines they had in an episode. That level of competitiveness is what Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams experienced, as they would often read scripts, count lines and argue for more lines. Had they banded together during contract renewals, Cindy Williams may have still remained, but of course her own husband, Bill Hudson (another man in power), put a wedge in his wife's career. It's hoped that the "Me Too" movement made some strides, and that more men like Matthew Perry, Mat LeBlanc and David Schwimmer, who together walked alongside their female counterparts during contract renewal to demand equal pay per episode across the board. That was beyond beautiful.

Evidently Landon wanted to show his abusive control he had over Ms. Grassle & any other female who stepped out of line.

I think it’s sad the way she and Angrim have to jump on the pc bus and try and tar and feather Michael Landon’s memory when he’s not here to defend himself,all in the name of selling books. She was an alcoholic and moody had her share of perosnal problems too. Some of the criticisms are utterly stupid. Michael Landon WAS from the “MadMen” era. He was acting in the 50’s and 60’s! So what *if* he did tell dirty jokes at times? I’m sure Grassle did too. She was also paid well for her part ,she wasn’t the star of the show and if she had an issue with it she could have left before taking the part. The reality is that if it wasn’t for Michael Landon nobody would even know who she is today. His show made her a place in tv history. Honestly,the things she is complaining about are laughable and just “dirt” to sell books.There are REAL problems in the world. When you’re an adult you’re supposed to grow up and behave like one and develop a thick skin. In the real world people are going to tell jokes that you might not like and say things (right or wrong) that may be unkind. She could have left if she didn’t like it. I know someone who lived next door to Michael Landon and was also in the industry and she had nothing but kind things to say about him. I’ve heard so many stories from people who worked on his shows about how generous and kind he was. Are all those folks lying? It’s funny how all these books and stories come out when these peoples careers hit the skids or are over. I think Karen Grassle was great In her role,but she also wasn’t like the character she portrayed on “little house” either. Bottom line is that Michael Landon was a human being. Anyone expecting him to be perfect or be exactly like a fictional character he played should remember that and should look in the mirror first. Michael Landon made some great shows that touched a lot of folks lives. “Highway to Heaven” was great. It’s sad that he and Victor French aren’t still here with us.

Aww come on, don’t talk about Michael, he isn’t here to defend himself… I worked in a office in the 70s with only men and this was not unusual, life is different today… I just want to live in my dreamworld and enjoy LHOTP….

Mrs. Grassle, I’m Sure you’re saint aren’t you. Give me a break.

Raunchy dirty jokes but I can’t remember them. I don’t believe her.

She’s a coward, acted a victim. She would have told him before he died. Michael London RIP, is still a star.

I used to watch the show when I was a kid. I always thought the woman that played the mother was a really good actor. However, for her to come on tv and lambast a man who cannot defend himself, is a low thing to do. She should be ashamed of herself and my guess is Michael is waiting for her in the afterlife. When she arrives he’s going to tell her more dirty jokes. In all seriousness, what have men been doing for the last 10000 years….? Wake up

People here attacking her need to get a life. Just because he died awhile ago doesn't invalidate her experiences!

I quite frankly don't need to hear about behind the scenes how an actor, Michael Landon was. For one, he has been dead now since 1991. Let him rest in peace. Stop desecrating his grave with all this. Two, it has nothing to do with this good, G rated, for the whole family, wholesome show that I still love and watch to this day. Three, no reason for anyone, including her, to talk about how any actress/actor was behind the scenes of a show, that honestly, really has nothing to do with this great show.

Howard Stern said it best in his book, "Private Parts": "Did you see the homages paid to him when he died? All the news programs showed him walking down the road as an angel from his TV show "Highway to Heaven." When was this guy an angel? I'm sure at least two of his ex-wives thought he was going to hell. And he has this great image as a family man. Family man? This guy had nine children from three different wives. He was a guy in his fifties having children with his third wife. He wrote family shows, meanwhile his family was in total disarray. Three different wives. He was a families man. He made a bunch of sappy shows about the family he would have liked to have. He couldn't be an angel, so he acted as one."
